The Wednesday Night Children's Ministry at First United Methodist Church made crafts to sell in a children's Christmas bazaar held in conjunction with a Thanksgiving luncheon Nov. 21.

With the help of church members, the approximately 30 children - ranging from pre-K through sixth grade - made reindeer food, Christmas ornaments, sun catchers, chip clips and jeweled, wooden crosses. Older children helped set up and run the bazaar and helped younger children write letters to Santa.

On Thursday, several children will present $360.75 in proceeds to FISH and take a tour of the county food pantry.

"We hope this experience opens their hearts and minds to the joy of giving," said coordinator Tiffany Wren.
